Dalton Citizen: As we have frequent
~ said, the way 10 build a solid city,
Is upon the solid foundation of
manufactures. We have been most
tavorably impressed with another industry,
for which this place is peculiarly adapted, by
visit to the warehouse of Judge Van Ness.
He has some samples Of veneers. cut on the
new system of rotary cutting, from a pine
log sent by him to a firm near Cleveland,
o. The veneers are about four feet wide,
and some no thicker than paper and many
yards in length. A sample of gum shown
US was cut from roll measuring six feet
wide and mile and a quarter long. To
enunerate the uses to which this material
Is adapted would occupy more space than
we could well afford in this issue.
The sale is announced of the old stable lot
on the corner of Broad and jefferson streets,
Townsville A little over one year ago it
was sold by Mr.. McLendon to Mr.. Steyer
man for IS, $50. 4 few DAYS ago this same
piece of property, without dollars worth
of Improvement, was sold for s., 800. The
purchaser was Mr.. Masury, of New York,
who recently purchased the Blackshear
place. This silences all croakeTs about
Thomasville's upward tendency, for when
such men as Mr.. Masury put out $50, 900 in
one piece of property, and Immediately in

Doc Stubs poured a load of No. shot
into the left arm and side of Bob Hughes
from the muzzle of double-barrel shot
gun late last Saturday afternoon, inhicting
several very painful, though not dangerous
wounds. Both men are negroes Both of
them were in Eastman Saturday, and to-
gether they started for their homes over
Gum Swamp about o'clock in the after
noon. When about three miles from town
Stubs commenced abusing Hughes about
something he had said about his (Bob's)
! wife, and concluded by telling him that if
| he didn' retract he would kill him. Hughes
| refused to take back what he had said, but,
| to the contrary, repeated the statement with
| emphasis, swore that it was true, and de-
clared that he would die by it, whereupon
| Stubs shot him as above stated.
At Americas Wednesday, as little Charlie
| Cobb was passing Chapman's restaurant on
Lamar street, he was fiercely attacked by a
setter dog, who rushed out of the door and
| threw the child to the ground, biting it
badly, once in the side and again in the
breast just over the heart The little fellow
was carried into the drug store next door
and his injuries attended to, which, while
very painful, are not considered serious, as
| the dog was not thought to be mad. The
same dog bit little negro Tuesday morn
| ing, but not as badly as he did the little boy
later on. Mr.. Chapman values the dog
| highly, and asked to be allowed to send him
home instead of killing him. This favor
was granted him, but the police were in
structed to shoot him should he ever appear
| ON the streets of the city again.
